The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1648 the toughest
Latest URL: The Suns may be the team most sensitive to Lu Wuxia's comeback.
They can't forget the feeling of the whole team being helpless in front of this young man who is only 22 and a half years old.
Their strongest point, Kevin Garnett, was repeatedly named and pressured by Lu Wuxia as a loophole. Iguodala and Penny were like playthings in front of him, even the third game of the finals where the Celtics team was not right In the first half, he was also able to stalemate the game with his personal ability.
If he continues that kind of performance into the second half, will the Suns be crushed once Yao Yueban and others' touches return as they really did?
The answer no one knows.
What is certain is that the gap between the flawless Celtics and the flawless Celtics cannot be reflected by data.
Lu Wuxia came up to take the initiative to face Iguodala, which surprised Penny.
Soon, they figured it out.
This just proved that Lu Wuxia's injury recovery was not complete.
Therefore, they want to take advantage of this loophole, pass the ball to Iguodala, and let him take care of Lu Wuxia.
Iguodala was put half a meter.
Lu Wuxia's defense made it clear that you can shoot as you please, and breakthroughs are not feasible.
Iguodala, who lacked confidence in shooting, decided that a breakthrough was a more feasible move, so he took the initiative to dribble to hit Lu Wuxia's right hand.
That was Lu Wuxia's injured foot.
However, the results were not satisfactory.
Iguodala seemed to hit a wall and was blocked by Lu Wuxia.
That traverse speed is so fast that it seems that there is no injury.
In less than half a second, Kirilenko's double-teaming caught up and Iguodala made a pass error.
The Celtics' successful defense made the Suns mess up. Ginobili caught the ball and made a fast break and scored quickly.
2 to 0
After that, the Suns passed the ball to Garnett according to their own game habits.
Garnett leaned back against Gasol in the low post, and after a back hit, he swayed his shoulders left and right, turned around and made a fallback jumper.
Gasol stretched out his hand symbolically, and the others could do nothing.
2 to 2
Garnett's swingman-style post-up style was repeatedly criticized by Louis and Bird. Although he corrected his bad habits later, some basic movements were still done according to his own preferences.
There is nothing wrong with this set of moves, and, for insiders, it is extremely entertaining.
Garnett's offense put the Suns into rhythm.
The two sides came and went for four minutes, and Lu Wuxia was not broken by Iguodala in a single line.
Because Iguodala's shooting touch is not good today.
And the Celtics didn't rely too much on Lu Wuxia.
According to the pre-match arrangement, Lu Wuxia dribbled the ball halfway and then stood in the bottom corner to smoke. Iguodala, who was in charge of handing him the ashtray, suddenly felt that there was no need for him to rot in the bottom corner with the opponent.
Although Lu Wuxia's three-point shooting percentage is close to 45%, but that is the state before the injury, who knows what will happen in the game?
Iguodala decided to help defend others as Lu Wuxia predicted.
Gasol took the ball high, and Garnett's extremely ferocious defense made it clear that he would not give the offense a chance.
Then, Gasol called Yao Yueban for a pick-and-roll.
The pick-and-roll between two seven-footers is a characteristic of the Celtics. If Yao Yueban's shooting rhythm is not suitable for shooting after the dribble, Louie even wants to arrange a three-point tactic for him after the pick-and-roll.
No matter how strong the defense is, it will be deterred when encountering a pick-and-roll like Yao Yueban.
Milicic, who switched defenses in front of Gasol, was easy to deal with.
Just as the Spaniards were about to make an effort to clean up the Serbs, Iguodala, who was supposed to accompany Lu Wuxia in the bottom corner, joined the battlefield without doing his job.
At that moment, Gasol remembered what Lu Wuxia said to him before the game.
So accurate?
Gasol, who had no time to think, raised his pass high and turned the ball to the bottom corner.
Lu Wuxia received the ball, shot, and made a steady three-pointer from the open corner.
After this goal, the Celtics led by 4 points.
He looked at Iguodala in disbelief: "You gave me such a big space?"
Iguodala was ashamed and decided not to let Lu Wuxia go.
And the Suns seem to have forgotten their matchup, and the offensive end is mainly given to a few other people.
Garnett is in good offensive form.
Penny is brave, facing Ginobili, combined with sudden shots, he is the most powerful person in the first quarter of the Suns.
Then there is Richard Hamilton. After he started tonight, he has not missed a mid-range shot or a three-pointer.
With three of the Big Four playing well, Iguodala's performance doesn't seem to matter that much.
However, after making that open three-pointer, Lu Wuxia's movements also began to increase.
Moreover, the trash talk in the mouth is constant.
"Andre, your coach arranged for you to play against me, but didn't arrange tactics for you?"
"Is it necessary to be so cautious when dealing with a wounded soldier?"
"Or do they not trust you?"
After Lu Wuxia asked three times in a row, Kirilenko took a screen to the top of the arc, Ginobili crossed the ball and ran to the bottom line, Yao Yueban and Gasol made a double pick-and-roll and then one went down and the other bounced outside.
Lu Wuxia looked at Yao, pointed his fingers, and fooled the audience. The left hand that dribbled the ball suddenly made a wonderful low-level line backhand to the bottom corner.
Ginobili just landed, received the ball, and made a three-pointer.
"Shua!"
"Wish he's still the same guy! As long as he's around, the Celtics are a completely different team!"
What the commentator said was exactly what the fans thought.
However, what the Celtics want is to prove that even if they are not flawless, they are a special team.
In the last game, they failed to prove it.
Now, with Lu Wuxia's return, they seem to have no chance to prove it.
Seven minutes into the first quarter, the Celtics took the lead in making substitutions.
Louis replaced Imperfect with Szczerbiak, and then replaced Kirilenko with Dunleavy.
Lu Wuxia scored 5 points and 2 assists in the past seven minutes. It is obvious that the Celtics are very restrained in their use of him.
As for Kirilenko, for him to end to protect the main.
Kirilenko had a foul in the opening seven minutes, not much, but if he gets a second foul before the end of the first quarter, it will be different.
Therefore, taking advantage of the team leading by 5 points and the others are in good condition, replace the two of them to rest and wait for the second quarter.
Lu Wuxia and Kirilenko are the most important players on both offensive and defensive ends of the Celtics. If they are replaced, the team's performance on both ends of the court will drop a notch.
However, in the actual situation, the defensive end is indeed the case, and the offensive end does not seem to be affected at all.
This is because Ginobili completely entered the role of Lu Wuxia tonight.
There were inaccurate shots in the first few games, and in this crucial battle of Tianwangshan, Ginobili's nerve knife revealed its most personal characteristic, which is unpredictability.
Sun unfortunately met Ginobili, the **** of gods.
Although Ginobili can't help Penny on the defensive end, he can also make Penny helpless on the offensive end.
Unlike Americans' stereotypes of European players being weak and weak, Ginobili's offense with the ball is an American style of opening and closing, and what is even more rare is the weird starting rhythm that is rare in NBA history after receiving the ball.
Garnett tried to help, but was flashed and saw him score a layup.
Milicic also wanted to help defend, but sent a foul, allowing Ginobili to complete 2+1.
In addition to Ginobili, Dunleavy, who replaced Kirilenko, also performed very well.
Dunleavy has always been a golf quotient's all-rounder, and he was dubbed Bird II's gimmick in the draft that year, but he did not, like most Bird IIs, plummeted after the bubble was punctured. On the contrary, After he got rid of the pressure of being the next Bird, he became a better version of himself.
Although Louis often threatened Dunleavy that he would send him to the old Dunleavy as a filial son, unless there was an offer that he could not refuse—for example, Popovich suffered a serious illness and insisted on exchanging this year’s No. Dunleavy has remained with the team.
Not to mention the selfless attribute of his willingness to be a substitute~www.mtlnovel.com~ It is said that he has the ability to swing from the second position to the fourth position without any sense of disobedience. For the team, having such a player can greatly enrich Team tactics.
Dunleavy scored 5 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist in four minutes off the bench.
Then came the most exciting moment of the first quarter.
In the last 28 seconds, Ginobili pressed the time to the end, and then shot at the buzzer.
Missed, but there was Gasol under the basket, he started a little, missed, jumped again and again, still missed, so he kept jumping and hitting. Finally, when the whistle sounded at the end of the first quarter, Gasol, who had crazily brushed five offensive rebounds in a single round, scored a tip-up.
After the spectacular moment, Gasol turned and beat his chest and roared in Garnett's face, as if he was the toughest player on the court.
The Spurs won the Wenban Bowl, which is the best reward for this kind of team that fails once in 25 years.
